The Houses Lucy and Desi Actually Lived In, Seventy-Five Years After the Show

· 1 min read

I Love Lucy reaches its 75th anniversary this year, and Elle Decor marks the occasion by stepping past the familiar set and into the residences Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz kept for themselves. The feature is a tour of the rooms the two of them called their own when the cameras were off. For readers who know the pair only through a television screen, it is a chance to see them as homeowners rather than as the Ricardos.

With reporting from Elle Decor.
